An election in Texas next Tuesday will determine whether the state’s residents want to approve major spending for new power plants, an expansion of broadband access and new water infrastructure.
Some $13 billion in spending will be decided by voters as they will decide on several constitutional amendments. The ballot issues came as the result of the Texas legislature approving a $33 billion budget surplus.
“Those are permanent infrastructure opportunities that we’ll never see in my lifetime again,” said Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, who led the effort to invest in water infrastructure.
